The game format is just like Beatmania. As colored notes fall from the top, you must hit the corresponding colored button when they reach the line. However, there are nine buttons instead of Beatmania’s five or even IIDX’s seven and the buttons for it are big so you can hit them with the palm of your hand. Pop N Music is available for Japanese Dreamcast and also on the Gameboy Color. The arcade version can also only be imported.
